Nº9 Olive Drab (Fs 33070)
Base · #3D4023
No shortage of substitutes here, Luftwaffe Green from Vallejo matches at 90 percent and 3 brands carry a strong same-finish near-match. Nº9 Olive Drab (Fs 33070) sits in the brown family: dark in tone, moderate in saturation, cool in cast. For modelling, drop to Aii Green in the recesses and step up to Field Grey Base #2 (Grey Uniform) on the edges, both AK Interactive paints. Bottom line: run out mid-project and another brand will get you within a shade.

- Closest Vallejo equivalent: Vallejo Luftwaffe Green, close enough that batch variation matters more (delta E 1.9).
- Nearest in the Revell catalog: Revell Olive grey/Olivgrau (RAL 7010), close, with a hint of drift side by side (delta E 2.7).
- Best P3 Paints option: P3 Paints Bastion Grey, a near match with visible drift up close (delta E 3.1).
- From Green Stuff World: Green Stuff World Gangrene, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 5.5).
- Monument Pro Acryl's closest color: Monument Pro Acryl Yellow Green, workable at tabletop distance, not up close (delta E 5.6).
- Nearest in the Humbrol catalog: Humbrol Olive Drab, a usable stand-in rather than a twin (delta E 7.1).
Side by side the two agree in lightness and temperature; at delta E 1.9 the gap is smaller than the variation between two pots of the same paint.
